Cooper was a pup from Tillie and Tamar’s first litter. He went to a  couple in Hampshire who had waited twelve years for the right time – and I’m told – the right dog. From all accounts Cooper has more than fulfilled their expectations of dog ownership, and qualified as a P.A.T. (Pets as Therapy) dog, aged just 16 months. This is such a worthwhile cause, as it gives otherwise lonely and sometimes despairing people a focus in their lives, providing them with companionship, love, joy and something to look forward to.
